Young enjoyed the longest career of any astronaut, becoming the first person to fly six space missions (with seven launches, counting his lunar liftoff) over the course of 42 years of active NASA service. He was the only spaceman to span NASA's Gemini, Apollo and shuttle programs and became the first person to rocket away from Earth six times.
